| Description | Spacewatch searches for asteroids and comets ranging in location from near-Earth space to regions beyond the orbit of Neptune. We are studying Earth-approaching asteroids, main belt asteroids, comets, Centaurs, and TNOs, as well as the interrelationships of these classes and their bearing on the origin and evolution of the solar system. Spacewatch is described at http://www. lpl. arizona. edu/spacewatch/index.html. The Spacewatch Project has been discovering Earth-approaching asteroids (EAs) steadily and has used the results aggressively to estimate the statistical properties of the EA population. This grant funded Spacewatch to develop and implement a mosaic of CCD imaging detectors for the 0.9-m telescope, to increase that telescope's rate of coverage of sky area while preserving its limiting magnitude. |
